The Misty Cloud Sect Leader Comes Calling, a Famous Scene Arrives

After a pleasant day of strolling around, Wang Chen and his companions returned to the Xiao Clan to await further arrangements.

The following day, the entire Wutan City was abuzz with activity.

With Advanced Alchemist like Wang Chen returning to the Xiao Clan, all the forces in Wutan City would naturally want to pay him a visit.

After all, even in the Jia Ma Imperial City, people of this caliber are highly sought-after experts.

Not to mention a small place like Wutan City.

Regardless of what you really think, you still have to put on a good show on the surface.

The purpose of giving the gift was not to make Wang Chen remember him, but to prevent Wang Chen from remembering that he hadn't given a gift.

That's why the Xiao Clan's banquet was quite a spectacle.

Whether it was the original forces of Wutan City itself, or external forces such as the City Lord's Mansion and the Mittel Auction House, they all brought gifts to the door.

The banquet was arranged by the Xiao Clan, so Wang Chen didn't have to put in much effort.

He was only there to make a show of things; the main communication would still need to be handled by the Xiao Clan.

After all, with his current strength, he has absolutely no connection with these small forces in Wutan City.

While the Xiao Clan was preparing for the banquet, Wang Chen was also chatting with Queen Medusa and the others.

"After this matter is over, I plan to guide you through a year of training, and then we'll set off for Central Plains to begin our adventures there."

Inside the room, Wang Chen explained his plans.

The Northwestern Continent is indeed safe, but compared to the Central Plains, it is still too barren.

If you want to develop and become stronger quickly, you need to venture out there.

After all, in the Northwestern Continent, those at the Dou Zong level are top experts in their respective empires.

The loss of even one person would undoubtedly be a major news story.

Wang Chen needs this material to refine more high-level Heavenly Demon Puppet henchmen.

Only by going to places like Central Plains can one obtain more materials and make one's strength advance by leaps and bounds.

As for why we have to wait an extra year, it's mainly because Qing Lin and the others are relatively weak.

Their talent is indeed terrifying, but that doesn't change the fact that they haven't been cultivating for very long.

Queen Medusa was alright; her own strength was relatively good.

The others who went to Central Plains were nothing but a burden to him.

After all, he wasn't absolutely certain about success in Central Plains, so he naturally wanted Qing Lin and the others to cultivate for a year first.

That way, I can at least keep up with him, albeit barely.

Even if it can't be of much help, at least it won't hold us back.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Queen Medusa was the first to agree to Wang Chen's suggestion.

As for Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, they agreed after thinking about it.

After all, they were well aware that their current strength was insufficient.

Having an extra year to improve one's skills is a great advantage.

They are very confident in their own talents.

As for Zi Yan standing to the side, she had absolutely no objections.

Although she also wanted to figure out what her bloodline was.

However, as long as one consumes enough pills, one's strength can increase.

Whether she went to Central Plains early or Central Plains, it didn't matter to her.

"Since you've all agreed, then you'll probably have to work harder for the next year."

I will prepare elixirs for everyone; you only need to focus on your cultivation.

Wang Chen also attached great importance to Queen Medusa and her group.

Although they can't help right now, with their talent, they will surely rise to prominence soon.

Its role at that time will far exceed that of a single Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Puppet is indeed powerful in combat, but its intelligence is limited.

It can only fight automatically and cannot do anything beyond what is commanded.

After the discussion, they all went back to cultivate.

After all, the subsequent plans had been made, and everyone felt a bit of urgency.

Even Queen Medusa was no exception.

Although she is already Dou Zong master and is striving to become a Dou Zun.

But after all, there hasn't been a breakthrough yet.

Sensing the talents of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, she herself felt a sense of urgency.

As the leader of the team and the first person to follow Wang Chen, if she were to be overtaken by the younger members, she would lose face.

A night passed in the midst of everyone's cultivation.

As dawn broke, the Xiao Clan became lively.

The various forces from Wutan City, carrying gifts, gradually made their way towards the Xiao Clan.

The entire Xiao Clan compound became bustling with activity.

As the patriarch of the Xiao Clan family, Xiao Zhan had quite a few things to do today.

He was the one who received and entertained most of the powerful figures.

Of course, the Three Great Elders were also assisting Xiao Zhan.

This is a fact that enhances the reputation and prestige of the Xiao Clan, even though the Three Great Elders and Xiao Zhan are not 100% united.

However, on matters of great importance, the group is able to work together with great unity.

With the help of these seasoned veterans, the banquet was held quite well without any major mishaps.

Once everyone had arrived, Wang Chen, the most important protagonist of the banquet, finally appeared.

After all, today's banquet was held in recognition of Wang Chen's reputation.

Although I didn't want to get involved in these things, it was ultimately for the sake of the Xiao Clan.

Wang Chen did step forward and say a few words.

Wang Chen then left, and all matters were handled by the Xiao Clan's higher-ups.

No one at the scene said much about Wang Chen's nonchalant departure.

After all, Wang Chen's status is undeniable.

Being able to make time to meet and exchange a few words is already considered a great favor.

In this Dou Qi Continent, they can still understand such simple principles.

No one would be so brainless as to nitpick Wang Chen's faults.

After Wang Chen left, the banquet became even more lively.

After all, Wang Chen's status and position were too high, so those people didn't dare to act recklessly.

Only after Wang Chen left did they dare to relax a little.

The banquet lasted until dusk, and on the surface, it seemed that both the hosts and guests enjoyed themselves.

Wang Chen didn't concern himself with these matters, since these miscellaneous issues were handled by the higher-ups of the Xiao Clan.

Aside from his cultivation, Wang Chen devoted his energy to Xiao Yan, who was following the plot of the original novel.

With just a quick observation, Wang Chen was able to confirm that Yao Lao had already accepted Xiao Yan as his disciple.

After all, the Xiao Yan of today is completely different from the Xiao Yan of the past.

Although there hasn't been much change in strength, their spirit and energy are completely different.

If Xiao Yan's spirit before was one of suppressed resentment, then the current Xiao Yan is one of vibrant life and flourishing vitality.

Such a dramatic change could only be attributed to the recovery of one's innate talent; there is absolutely no other possibility.

After discovering this situation, Wang Chen was in a very good mood.

After all, his main purpose in returning to the Xiao Clan this time was not only to see the changes in the Xiao Clan, but also to exchange for what he needed from Yao Lao.

Now that Yao Lao has accepted Xiao Yan as his disciple, it can be considered a good start.

Wang Chen did not go directly to their door.

Because now is not a good time.

Anyway, it won't be long before Nalan Yanran comes to annul the engagement.

It's not too late to make the deal when Xiao Yan is severely punished.

After all, it was probably at that time that Xiao Yan most craved power.

And Yao Lao, who wants to nurture Xiao Yan, will probably not be stingy with the knowledge in his mind.

After all, knowledge is something that can be considered precious in some ways, but not in others.

If they could exchange enough resources to grow stronger at this crucial moment, and given the relationship between Xiao Yan and Wang Chen, Yao Lao would probably agree.

That's why, after finding out the information he wanted, Wang Chen stopped paying attention to Xiao Yan.

Time passed little by little, and the appointed time for the Misty Cloud Sect arrived.

Xiao Zhan and the three elders had also made arrangements to welcome them.

At this moment, more than twenty members of the Xiao Clan were gathered in the Xiao Clan family's Reception Hall.

The number of people wasn't large, but they were all high-ranking members and key figures in the Xiao Clan.

Everyone's strength was at least that of Da Dou Shi; there was no one below that level.

It's clear that they're still giving the Misty Cloud Sect a lot of face.

This is normal, after all, the person who came to visit this time is the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, a famous Dou Emperor expert in the Jia Ma Empire.

The Xiao Clan was naturally very polite.

Even with Wang Chen as a powerful backer, the Xiao Clan's higher-ups wouldn't easily offend anyone.

The arrival of the Misty Cloud Sect naturally warranted the highest level of hospitality.

If it weren't for the Misty Cloud Sect's special mention on the visiting card, the Xiao Clan's senior members would probably have arranged for the younger generation to come and take a look.

Meeting Dou Emperor- level expert can broaden the horizons and knowledge of the younger generation.

"Xiao Chen, please take a seat."

The Third Elder spoke up upon seeing Wang Chen's arrival.

At this time, the clan leader Xiao Zhan and the other two elders had already gone to wait for the Misty Cloud Sect and the others.

At this time, the Reception Hall was presided over by the Third Elder.

"No need for that, I'm fine with anything."

After glancing at the layout of the Reception Hall, Wang Chen sat down in the upper left corner instead of taking the main seat.

Although Wang Chen fully qualified, he had no interest in it.

If it weren't for the desire to trade for the pill formula he wanted, Wang Chen probably wouldn't have stayed at the Xiao Clan for long.

He naturally had no interest in such trivial matters.

You'd be better off using that time to cultivate yourself properly.

After sitting down, Wang Chen closed his eyes to rest.

He wouldn't have come if this matter hadn't concerned his future plans, and if he hadn't been somewhat interested in that famous scene.

At this moment Queen Medusa and the others were all focused on their cultivation.

As the leader of the team, Wang Chen naturally couldn't afford to slack off.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhan and the two elders also walked in to greet the group.

At this moment, Wang Chen also opened his eyes and glanced around.

The woman leading the group was dressed in a plain dress and had a voluptuous figure.

Her long, black hair was styled into the shape of a phoenix singing, cascading down to her slender waist.

That exquisitely beautiful face was like that of a flower fairy in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs, exuding a captivating ethereal charm.

Even Wang Chen couldn't help but take a second look.

Of course, it was just a couple of extra glances.

Wang Chen didn't have many thoughts about Yun Yun.

After all, Yun Yun's talent is far inferior to that of Xiao Yi Xian and the others.

Wang Chen didn't want to waste too much time playing a simulation game.

Moreover, Yun Yun is different from Xiao Yi Xian and others; she has power and influence.

They wouldn't follow Wang Chen because he said a few words casually.

While Wang Chen was looking around, Xiao Zhan led his group in and then sat down.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yun Yun got to the point.

"Xiao Clan, is the Third Young Master of the Xiao Clan here?"

"Yan'er?"

Hearing Yun Yun's question, Xiao Zhan was also a little confused.

During the previous meeting, Yun Yun only said a few words and did not introduce the people around her.

Although he didn't understand, Xiao Zhan hadn't been a patriarch for so many years; he wasn't just sitting around doing nothing.

Looking at the girl beside Yun Yun, and recalling the request in the invitation letter, he instinctively felt a sense of unease.

"Yan'er is not here right now."

"Then please trouble Xiao Clan to invite Xiao Yan over. This matter is mainly related to Xiao Yan."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's request, Xiao Zhan did not refuse and arranged for a servant to inform Xiao Yan.

At this moment, the Reception Hall also fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, but Xiao Zhan's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

Seeing the silent hall, Wang Chen didn't say anything.

He had some prior speculations, and given the current situation, he is now 100% certain.

Yun Yun came to break off the engagement.

Wang Chen didn't say much about this matter.

As a time traveler, he didn't quite approve of this feudal arrangement.

Moreover, this is a world where strength reigns supreme.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were neither childhood sweethearts nor did they develop any romantic feelings for each other.

Furthermore, the gap in status between the two sides is currently very large.

It's perfectly reasonable for Nalan Yanran to want to annul the engagement.

After all, one was a cripple with Dou Qi Third Stage, and the other was the young sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect.

This is a world of difference.

If you were to discuss the annulment of the engagement with others, I'm afraid 98% of people would agree with Nalan Yanran's choice.

A proud daughter of heaven marrying a useless man at the Dou Qi Third Stage?

Wake up, this is reality, not a storybook.

Of course, this was slightly uncomfortable for the Xiao Clan, but it was understandable.

After all, if they were Nalan Yanran, they would have made the same choice.

But for Xiao Yan, this was an utter disgrace.

Just as Wang Chen was pondering, Xiao Yan arrived.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had no idea what was about to happen to him.

Having regained his talent, he now appears quite spirited and confident.

"Clan Chief, Great Elder..."

Upon entering the Reception Hall, Xiao Yan bowed very respectfully to Xiao Zhan and the three elders seated at the head of the table.

Xiao Yan didn't particularly like the three elders, but he didn't dislike them either.

After all, the three elders did act fairly and impartially in matters concerning the family.

They didn't specifically target Xiao Yan.

Of course, the main reason is that Wang Chen's rise has provided the Xiao Clan with a lot of resources.

When Xiao Yan's talent disappeared, the Xiao Clan's higher-ups, supported by Wang Chen, did not need to take away basic resources from Xiao Yan.

It simply means canceling the initial special treatment.

Although Xiao Yan was uncomfortable at first, he came to understand after a few years.
